Sinopse

More than 40 years after his debut and nearly a decade since his last appearance, one of the most renowned characters in all of crime fiction is back on the case.Well past retirement age and feeling his years&mdash,but still staying sober one day at a time&mdash,Matthew Scudder learns that alcoholics aren&rsquo,t the only ones who count the days since their last slip. Matt&rsquo,s longtime partner, Elaine, tells him of a group of former sex workers who do something similar, helping each other stay out of the life. But when one young woman describes an abusive client who&rsquo,s refusing to let her quit, Elaine encourages her to get help of a different sort. The sort only Scudder can deliver.A Time to Scatter Stonesáoffers not just a gripping crime story but also a richly drawn portrait of Block&rsquo,s most famous character as he grapples with his own mortality while proving to the younger generation that he&rsquo,s still got what it takes. For Scudder&rsquo,s millions of fans around the world (including the many who met the character through Liam Neeson&rsquo,s portrayal in the film versionáof A Walk Among the Tombstones),áA Time to Scatter Stonesáis an unexpected gift&mdash,a valedictory appearance that will remind readers why Scudder is simply the best there is.
